Item Details

Description

(René, Belgian surrealist artist, 1898-1967) Autograph Letter signed "RM" to "Cher Ami", 2pp. in French, 8vo, personal letterhead, Brussels, 9th January 1965, explaining the role of imagination in art, sending the extract from the La Muse magazine, and commenting on the piece, ("The seriousness of the suggestion of pregnant women becomes questionable when it is coming with a reproduction of a gouache done about thirty years ago. It is probably 'humour' for serious people. I still don't know what I would paint for the cover of the next 20th century. Imagination that has power, which we must distinguish from sterile imagination, must be called Inspiration"), fold.
